Under the warm Tassie sun at The Lea Conservation Area, Lance, VK7TO, put some CW on the air across 40, 30, and 20 metres. He enjoyed some contacts and the serenity of the bush until the battery finally faded. Meanwhile, Rodney, VK7HAM, along with Al, VK7AN, and Peter, VK7ZPE, activated Fannys Bay Conservation Area. This coastal park stretches for over 4 kilometres between Lulworth and Weymouth, providing the perfect backdrop for some relaxed radio and good company. Great work from all the operators for keeping VK7 active on the bands this past week, and inspiring others to get out, explore our parks, and enjoy some radio in the great outdoors! 73, Matt, VK7MAT -------------------------------- Statewide SSTV Nights Another busy net night that saw the following participants, VK7s â€“ AX, TW, ZAB, EV, FGGT, KT, OO and ZGK all sharing fifty photos. The main themes were: QTech 2025 â€“ the five Tasmanians that travelled north. The conference featured an ISS contact and a 241 GHz radar chip The Fort Queenscliff Museum in Victoria with light artillery, a sea mine and a ground mounted search light The similarities between the Torres Strait Island flag, a fire sprinkler system and the flower called Hanging Naked Men Other highlights were: The â€œhistory of commercial broadcastingâ€ presentation at REAST A catâ€Ös whisker detector using Galena and a fine wire as used on early broadcast receivers A superseded ATV studio Vintage portable direction finding antennas The 50th anniversary of the debut album â€œHorsesâ€ by Patti Smith. It was ground breaking by blending rock music and poetry The Eric Abetz slippery slope Lack of real intelligence and a zombie looking for a brain A childrenâ€Ös book on exercising The face of Jesus in a Margarine tub Stubborn men not wanting to die And the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide Again Tony VK7AX interconnected VK7RJG to his SSTV International Gateway and VK7s exchanged photos with PA3EKI in the Netherlands. Please remember to leave a 30 second break between transmissions to allow the European countries a chance to send photos. If you missed the net there are archives of these nights on Ken VK7KRJâ€Ös and Steve VK7OOâ€Ös SSTV websites or on NTARCâ€Ös website under blogs. https://vk7oo.tasme.com/vhfsstv/ https://sstv.vk7krj.com/scrolling%20web%20gallery.html https://www.ntarc.net/blogs https://www.qsl.net/vk7ax/sstvgate3/index.html 73 from Andreâ€Ö VK7ZAB -------------------------------- QSL News Inwards QSL Bureau Information The current list of QSL Cards held by the VK7 Inwards Bureau as at 24 Oct is in the email version of the Broadcast.

The North West Radio Repeater Association together with the North West Car Club has installed two repeater channels on Saint Valentines Peak, South of Burnie. The F. M. channels are not within the Amateur Radio frequencies at 78 and 81 MHz, but are licensed to Targa Tasmania and the Australian Rally Championship. This weekend, Round 6, Buckby Motors, Rally Tasmania is racing at Burnie from the 7th to the 9th of November. The collaboration between the repeater association and the car club successfully provided continuous communication coverage for last year's rally; from the remote forestry roads in the deep valleys of the Hinterland, to the city of Burnie on the coast. This year the North West Car Club Rally is held at Oldina near Wynyard with event organizers using the mountain top repeater at 7RVP Saint Valentines Peak to radio link with the car show at the Burnie Waterfront and the service park at Wivenhoe. Installation of the gear on the 11 hundred meter Peak took two expeditions by the working party, the first day battling blustery mountain top winds and an unacceptably performing folded dipole antenna. It was replaced the next week along with fifty meters of coax, in perfect weather conditions and blazing alpine sunshine. The antenna was examined in the field using a Nano V. N. A. and the integrity of the feedline was seen to have been destroyed by the unforgiving wind and rain on the peak, with vibrations against the exposed tower eroding the shielding and letting in water. Technicians from the Association also managed to get the microwave internet link operational by troubleshooting interference from the West Takone weather radar, operating on a very close frequency. The time cycle of the Data packets was decreased and the broadband connection to nodes on the coast was restored. Future upgrades to the site, by the North West Coast Radio Repeater Association are upgrades to the solar array and new repeaters in the Amateur frequencies, so keep your transceivers tuned in for more news and radio action from North West Tasmania. 73, John, VK7KKK -------------------------------- Weather Balloon Chasers - the chase is over Well, our balloon chasing days are over. The US Government closed down its weather balloon launching site at Cape Grim in far NW Tassie and have gone back to the United States. From the 8th April 2024 till the 16th October 2025, they launched 1252 weather balloons, 1014 land in the ocean. 238 landed in Tasmania. Of those, we chased 57 that landed in reasonably accessible areas, we were successful in retrieving 35 of those, with the other 22 in trees, dams, in accessible country, 2 or 3 landed in the Stoney Head bombing range run by the Department of Defence, a no-go area, or we couldnâ€Öt locate the owner of the land to get permission to enter the land. We have met many lovely farmers and landowners, who were fascinated in what we were doing, and got to chat about amateur radio as well. We travelled on some roads, tracks that we hadnâ€Öt travelled on in years, or totally new areas, like down near the Savage River pipeline. We had many laughs, frustration when we could see the radiosonde up a very tall tree, or landed in a farmerâ€Ös dam. But that all added to the excitement, the will to get it or not, and got especially me, out of the house, instead of watching days of our lives! The Amateurs involved were Mark VK7MAR, Mike VK7TM, Eric VK7EV, Dan VK7DAN, Andrew VK7XR, Mike VK7MD and Matt VK7MAT. We are still keeping an eye on things waiting for a HBT Balloon to blow above the Nth/Sth line 73, Eric, VK7EV -------------------------------- NEWS FROM THE NORTH SOTA/WWFF PARKS GROUP The Summits On The Air/World Wide Flora and Fauna parks group meets twice weekly â€“ Mondays and Fridays 10.30AM till 12.00 at the Glebe Gardens Cafe, Henry Street, Launceston. For more information contact Al on 0417 354 410. 73, Al, VK7AN -------------------------------- Northern Tasmanian Amateur Radio Club Incorporated www.ntarc.net Last club room technical night Idris VK7ZIR, had something completely different, something totally not electronics in nature, but very much needed for the builder or repairer of some electronic equipment? It was his â€œjust acquiredâ€ miniature tap and die set, manufactured by Marsden and used for putting a screw thread onto a rod or into something that is made of soft metals, brass or plastics. The set includes a selection of hardened high-speed steel taps and matching dies, a die stock, T-handle or tap wrench, and a small plastic storage case which is about the size of smart phone on steroids. The miniature description actually refers to the threading diameters. Starting at 1 mm diameter and increasing in 0.2 mm steps, with the largest diameter being 2.5 mm. The size selection lets you fabricate equipment, and possibly more importantly, restore damaged or stripped threads in equipment, where some-one previously has been overly enthusiastic with a screw-driver. Hi-Hi Notably this set also included paired bottoming taps for blind or non-through holes. This is something that is generally not included in sets available in â€œbig box storesâ€. But essential if you want to re-thread to the bottom of a drilling during repair work. That is assuming you are not really serious and have a â€œchaserâ€, but thatâ€Ös another â€œrabbit-holeâ€ altogether. Handling the tools was like the feel and sharpness of a chefâ€Ös knife, you know when they are serious about precision and that they mean business, thank you for sharing your new toys with us Idris. However Ross VK7ALH, continued the tradition with something electronic and very radio related. He also had a recent acquisition, a Yaesu Musen FL-50B purchased from the mainland. Evidently it was originally sold in Johannesburg South Africa! The FL-50B is the HF-transmitter unit of a pigeon pair, with the companion receiver being the FR-50. It is a tabletop model weighing in at 7.5 kilo-grams and was manufactured circa late 1960â€Ös. Frequency coverage is from 80 to 10 metres in five amateur bands. It uses an all valve construction with a 6JS6A as the final, producing a peak output of approximately 50 Watt. The analogue front panel is quite distinctive. Even though it does use rotary switches, it is from that style time where the slider switch reigned supreme! However it does have one exception of a toggle switch, used for microphone transmit. I really canâ€Öt imagine a slide switch being used for that one, it just wouldnâ€Öt be right. The overall state of the unit is mint condition, it even came with its original operators manual. There is an internal power supply on this model, so 230 Volt AC is fed straight in. It was very nice to see a brand new three pin plug and cable attached to the unit. This replaces the originally attached â€œfigure 8â€ power cord. An excellent safety decision, seeing the transmitter is aluminium construction. I can only assume that Ross will now be on the lookout for the matching receiver to complete the pair. It is nice to end on a â€˜stop pressâ€Ö, especially when you can bring good news for a change. During the week Matt VK7MAT, was successful in the examination for upgrading his amateur radio license. Congratulations Matt, looks like we may hear you on a few new frequencies in the near future. As always pictures will be available on the NTARC Web site under â€œBlogsâ€ for this broadcast. NTARC Blogs https://www.ntarc.net/blogs Finally â€“ If you have any items of news please email them to the Secretary at the following address news(at)ntarc.net all items to be received no later than 5 pm on the Friday prior to the Broadcast. Thatâ€Ös all folks, 73 from Stefan, VK7ZSB, Secretary NTARC Inc. -------------------------------- NEWS FROM THE SOUTH Radio and Electronics Association of Southern Tasmania https://www.reast.asn.au/ https://www.facebook.com/reasttas/ https://www.youtube.com/reasthobart/ Microwave News 10 Years of the 23cm QSO Party https://www.reast.asn.au/event/10-years-of-the-23cm-qso-party/ On 7 December we reach a VK7 microwave milestone with the 10th Anniversary of the 23 cm QSO party. We are trying to get as many stations as possible on to celebrate this milestone with hopefully record numbers. It is proposed that we write up an item for AR to record the history of the QSO party and the results of the 7 December event. The QSO Party is conducted at 10 am each Sunday after the broadcast on 1296.15 MHz using FM, with one group in the greater Hobart area and a second group in the greater Launceston area. After this Hobart to Launceston contacts take place 1296.2 MHz using the digital mode Q65-60B. Hobart stations first period and Launceston stations second. A brief History: Nearly ten years ago, a few Hobart stations started dusting off rigs and pointing quirky 23cm homebrew antennas toward Mt Wellington, just to see what might happen. At a REAST BBQ, between sausages and signal reports, someone tossed out a simple idea: run a 23 cm QSO party straight after the Sunday broadcast. Use it to test coverage, compare notes, and nudge everyone to lift their game on antennas and systems. Challenge accepted! On Sunday 6 December 2015, Murray, VK7ZMS, hauled gear up to Kunanyi/Mt Wellington and took the helm as the first control station. Three days later at the DATV night on 9 December, the debrief was clear: it worked, it was fun, and it deserved to keep going. The plan formed: aim beams at the mountain each Sunday and make it a habit. Stations with 23 cm gear dragged it out of cupboards, warmed it up, and joined the net. That inaugural report reads like a rollcall of early adopters: VK7ZMS, VK7MO, VK7BEN, VK7KAJ, VK7ZL, VK7OO, with a surprise cameo from the north, VK7JG. RX-only at first were VK7TW and VK7HRS. By the very next week there were nine stations up, plus a new voice, Danny VK7HDM. The only hiccup? Our control op, Murray, was off on essential duties: his daughterâ€Ös birthday took priority. Quite right too. Fast-forward to today and the little post-broadcast experiment has grown into a community, with around 15 stations operating each Sunday. We now count forty-seven, 23 cm capable operators in the South, with more in the North. The QSO party has mapped paths, sparked antenna builds, and quietly raised the bar for whatâ€Ös possible on 23cm in VK7. https://www.reast.asn.au/event/10-years-of-the-23cm-qso-party/ 73, Rex, VK7MO -------------------------------- November Presentation Night Perspectives on Australian Broadcast Radio https://www.reast.asn.au/2025/11/06/perspectives-of-australian-broadcast-radio/ On Wednesday 5th November 2025 we were privileged to hear and see a fantastic presentation on Perspectives of Australia Broadcast Radio. Phil Tyson from the Sound Preservation Association of Tasmania (SPAT) came along with a very professional and entertaining journey through broadcast radio history from the wild west start when amateurs were allowed to play music in between the commercial stations through to the Golden Era of radio. Philâ€Ös presentation included many great pictures and audio recordings of historic radio programs and events. Phil even brought along some great equipment from across radio history. A huge thank you to Phil, ALARA and SPAT for the presentation. Phil has extended an invite to the SPAT rooms in the old Bellerive Post Office and they are open from 11am-3pm Wednesday â€“ Fridays. https://www.soundpreservation.org.au/ https://www.reast.asn.au/2025/11/06/perspectives-of-australian-broadcast-radio/ 73, Justin, VK7TW -------------------------------- November Forum Night Forum Night â€“ EMR Quiz Night https://www.reast.asn.au/event/forum-night-emr-quiz-night/ This Wednesday night we have something different for our November forum night.
